The Monte Bolo Trail is a historical and heritage trail through the heart of La Rioja. This trail offers a unique view of the natural and cultural landscape of the region, with panoramic views of the vineyards that characterise the region.
Starting at Plaza el CampilloThe trail is marked with signs indicating the way to Monte Bolo. The trail initially traverses a surface of dirt and stony terrain, with slopes varying between 6% and 78%. As hikers ascend, they will have the opportunity to admire the jurisdictional roll, a historical landmark of the municipality located at the highest point of the mount.
From the viewpoint that surrounds the jurisdictional roll, visitors can enjoy a view of a panoramic view of the River Tiron Valley. Those who wish to extend their route can follow the path to the nearby lagoons before returning to Cuzcurrita.
For those wishing to explore further, an extension of the trail takes visitors around the first lagoon and then along a tarmac road to the larger lagoon. From there, the trail continues on a packed dirt road through grain fields and vineyards, offering a wider view of the region's agricultural landscape.
The first part of the path is signposted and the approximate walking time is 31 minutesat an average pace of 5 km/hour.
This trail is accessible at any time of the year, although it is advisable to protect yourself from the sun during the summer and avoid the hottest hours of the day. If you opt for the extension of the trail through the lagoons, it is recommended to avoid it during the summer due to the lack of shade.
Along the way, hikers will have the opportunity to appreciate the rich flora and fauna of the region, including pine, holm oak, thyme, lavender, lavender, chamomile, sanjuanera, fennel, aniseed and different species of butterflies.
In addition to its natural beauty, the Monte Bolo Trail also offers a rich history and cultural heritage. Hikers can visit the historic centre of Cuzcurrita, Monte El Bolo and the Church of San Miguel. In addition, at the starting point, the Plaza del Campillo, there is a fountain for those who need to refresh themselves before or after their walk.
